Austin Brockenbrough & Associates LLC

Austin Brockenbrough & Associates LLC, a Richmond, Virginia-based engineering and consulting firm, is a prime contractor (97% of awards) specializing in petroleum, oil, and lubricant (POL) infrastructure design, inspection, and engineer-architect services for the Department of Defense. The firm competes on an unrestricted (full-and-open) basis across all named recent awards with no set-aside designations. Austin Brockenbrough is a limited liability company and subsidiary of parent Stratus Team, LLC.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on POL facility assessment, pipeline integrity management, tank inspections, and fuel infrastructure modernization across military installations worldwide. Representative work includes a $5.52 million firm fixed-price delivery order from the Defense Logistics Agency Energy for out-of-service and in-service inspections of military above-ground storage tanks at Diego Garcia in the British Indian Ocean Territory (completion July 2027); a $6.79 million Red Hill Fuel Transfer Infrastructure Assessment and pipeline inspection project at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam, Hawaii (completed September 2024); a $1.65 million Naval Facilities Engineering Command delivery order for updating Pipeline Integrity Management Plans across four DoD fuel storage facilities (completion August 2025); and a $1.16 million Air Force delivery order for Pipeline Integrity Management Plan update at Meridian, Mississippi (completion December 2026). Work is performed worldwide—CONUS, OCONUS, and forward-deployed locations including Japan, Guam, Hawaii, and Djibouti—with administrative and design support based in North Chesterfield, Richmond, Virginia.

Customer concentration is heavy with the Defense Logistics Agency Energy and Naval Facilities Engineering Command. Defense Logistics Agency Energy anchors 130 awards valued at $616.7 million in combined potential value; Naval Facilities Engineering Command holds 129 awards at $299.1 million. Together these two customers account for approximately 86% of the combined potential value across all awards, with the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Omaha contributing 33 awards at $162.1 million. The Department of the Navy (excluding NAVFAC) places 212 awards but with minimal combined potential value ($643 thousand), indicating high-volume low-dollar transactional work. The top three customer relationships by potential value comprise 99% of the portfolio, signaling extreme concentration in DoD fuel infrastructure.

Austin Brockenbrough holds two significant indefinite delivery contracts as prime awardee: a $500 million multiple-award task order contract with the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command for Worldwide Fuels Infrastructure Mission Architect-Engineer Services for Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricant Facilities (AE23POL), awarded April 2023 through March 2028, and a $98 million single-award contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for Fuel Design and Inspection Services Worldwide, awarded November 2022 through November 2029. Task orders flow from these vehicles against Navy, DLA, and NAVFAC customers. Five named IDC vehicles (contract numbers N6247099D3305, N6247002D7617, N6246703D0160, N6247095D9014, and N6247007D7000) carry between 36 and 45 task orders each, though the source does not name the parent customer or vehicle ceiling for these contracts—the vendor uses them as ordering mechanisms for Navy and DLA delivery orders.

Activity has remained modest and volatile over the past five years—11 awards in 2022, declining to 7 in 2023, recovering to 16 in 2024 and 15 in 2025, with only 4 recorded in 2026 year-to-date through July. Eight awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $10.5 million, representing recompete exposure for the vendor. Combined potential value across all 603 awards stands at $1.09 billion with only $124 million (11%) obligated, indicating substantial upside in task order demand if customer agencies continue issuing work against the existing IDVs.

In its subcontractor role—a minor 3% of the footprint—Austin Brockenbrough performs POL engineering, design, and inspection services to Ch2M Hill, Weston Solutions, HDR Engineering, Nova Group, Zibiz Corporation, and WSP USA on fuel facility repairs, hydrant system work, tank cleaning and inspection, and POL system design across naval and Air Force installations.

The vendor's engineering services work is categorized primarily under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) with secondary work in architectural services and specialty trade contracting. PSC coding shows concentration in architect-engineer services for fuel supply facilities (45 awards) and general architect-engineer categories (307 combined awards across two PSC codes).
